    Yeah, it should show up by now. And remember it must be FIRST morning urine. It only takes about 5 minutes.

    When was your last period?

    Honestly I have no idea. When I got off the pills June 24th I know I bled a few days after that but that was I believe from getting off the pill. And like I said I ovulated July 24th. I didn't have any period before that, and on the 31st I had really lite barely there bleeding but it was brown. So I don't know if the 31st was my period or maybe I was one of the few that expereience implantation bleeding. That's why I'm confused and can't figure things out. Ill most likely pick up a test today and test tomorrow morning.. but could it still come up that I'm not pregnant if I am? And would I be better off going to get a blood test. I called and told my rn all about what I went through the dates I stopped the pill took the ovulation test and that part where I had the light barely there bleeding for a few days.. and she wanted me to come in for a blood test.. but I haven't gotten a chance being so busy that and I wanted to try a hpt first .

    HPTs are known to give more false negatives than false positives. Meaning it could possibly tell you that you are not pregnant when you really are.

    Take it, but still make the appointment for the blood test.

    I will let you know tomorrow with the hpt. I noticed tonight while having sex with my husband and I noticed it a few times before when I was asking you if maybe I could be pregnant. While having sex its almost like I'm more sensative and aroused more so while engaging in intercourse. Its never been like that before meaning its like its more sensitive if you know what I mean. My friend told me she was pregnant and the sex was great cause of the orgasims and it was amazing. Haha I don't know if that's what I'm experiencing or not. I just realized it tonight that it was more I don't know the word. You know what I mean? What could that be from.

    I took and ept hpt this morning first urine and it came up negative. So from there you think there's still a possibility I could be pregnant? And should I schedule a blood test this week? I was hoping it would show a positive but I'm glad I didn't stress myself over that.. I don't even know when my periods due. If not knowing could I still be possibly testing to early I'm guessing my blood test is the only way to go cause it can detect it even before urine right?

    Well, HPTs can give false positives. It is best to go with the blood test. And while you are at the doctor you should talk to him about all of your concerns.

    Hahah I love practicing lol. But do you think maybe I should still get a blood test just to make sure? I'm asking you cause you know more about this. I do know my rn wanted me to come in after explaining my situation I just haven't gotten around to being able to. What's your take.

    I think I read the wrong cmoment from you thst why I responded with practice lol. But I think I might just schedule a blood test this coming week if I can get in there.

    Yes, get the blood test. Yes, go to the doctor.

    They can do much more for you at this point than I can.

    They take only a few minutes at the doctor's office. But I suggest you speak to your doctor about your situation.

    You seem to be really stressed out over this and stress will cause you problems with your period as well as probems getting pregnant.

    Please do not be afraid to talk to him, that is what he is there for.

    Lately I've noticed my stomach feels different.. like the middle lower.. I wouldn't call them pains but here and there ill have a small I guess you can call it a cramp not really though. Its not painful it just feels weird. I don't know what that is. But I guess ill bring that up to my doctor as well.

    I'm not stressed it might seem that way with all the questions, but I'm just trying to learn more about this and talk to others that may know something about this all. That's all. And I will discuss everything with my doctor.. I haven't been stressed at all I'm just taking a day at a time keeping busy. I must make myself sound like a nutcase sorry.

    I have a question about cycles.. if you have a 28 day cycle. Does that mean you count from the first day of your period and once you get to the 28th day you should have your period again? I've never really understood that nor did I have to because the pills kept me on track. Let me know.. thanks

    That is pretty much how a 28 day cycle runs. However, not every woman has a 28 day cycle. Only the lucky ones!

    No I knew that . I just was confused . I knew day 1 of your period started your cycle. But if you had a 28 day cycle. Then on day 28 again you'd have your period correct?
